Visiting George Town for three days, and almost every prayer time I made an effort to come to this mosque. I was staying not far from it. The mosque is clean, the people are friendly, and it was truly memorable to perform my prayers there. The mosque is also open to non-Muslim visitors (tourists) who wish to stop by—outside of prayer times. There are also da’wah pamphlets in various languages for those who want to learn about Islam. Masya Allah.

Visited Kapitan Keling Mosque in Georgetown one evening and was amazed by its timeless beauty. This historic mosque, dating back to the British era, has stunning architecture that reflects its rich heritage. Even viewing it from the outside was a wonderful experience.

Kapitan Keling Mosque is one of the most beautiful and historic landmarks in George Town. Built in the 19th century by Indian Muslim traders, it stands out with its stunning Mughal-style domes, minarets, and elegant white architecture. The mosque is peaceful inside, with a serene prayer hall and a calm atmosphere that contrasts with the busy streets outside. Visitors are welcome, and robes are provided for modest dress if needed. It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural icon that reflects Penang’s rich heritage. A must-see in George Town!
